With the release of zBrush 3.2 for OS X this last week, I had to spend a few hours in it. I’ve always dug Z, and found the community at zbrushcentral to be a huge source of inspiration. There always seems to be something cool to check out as a plethora of vets and vets in the making call it home. I struggle to find time to build out the skillset with my current commitments, but you know what they say – you never have time, you have to make it. The subject matter of my sculpt is probably the most tired of them all, but sometimes that’s what happens when you’re not paying attention. Start with a sphere, crank up some tunes (some Adam Johnson for this) and a couple hours later you have an alien skull with a forehead that reminds me of the Smashing Pumpkins Bullet with Butterfly Wings. At any rate, it was some needed fun, and I enjoyed getting to know z just a little bit better.

Since I’m rambling about it this is probably a good time to throw a nod to some of my favorite artists at zbc (well worth checking out if you like this stuff):
Simon Blanc, Renaud Galand, Cedric Seaut, David Giraud, Greg Callahan, Ralf Stumpf, and T.S.Whittelsbach
